And in a private email to Mr. Evron I pointed out how it was nice of him
to be willing to be a moderator.

Mr. Evron's reply was no.   He was not offering up his own effort to solve
what he felt was a problem.

The simplist way to kill a thread asking someone else to do a bunch of
work is to ask the thread bringer "Will you do the work?"   If they are
unwilling to do the work, what else is there to 'discuss'?
